Named for its spider web of tunnels, and not bodies, this underground river was "discovered" by myself today at the Naval Magazine. I put the word discovered in quotation marks due to the fact that at one point in the cave there are names carved into the wall. The last one that I can see is from 1995. But while it is evident that people at one point knew of and explored this cave, I don't believe anyone remembers it is there anymore. It is not referenced in any books that I can find and the path to it is completely overgrown.
From the entrance to the exit the river crosses 500 ft in a straight line. I have yet to measure the actual tunnel length from entrance to exit. I found the exit first and began hiking through it. It went on for quiet a while and eventually got larger and larger. I then turned a corner and was staring at jungle and the small river flowing in. The entrance is around 12 ft wide and 9 ft high.
Very cool!
Near the public hospital -- by the big development of condominiums that haven't yet been finished in Tamuning.
